Celebrating Local Government Week 2023

Published on 31 July 2023

It's Local Government Week, and Lachlan Shire Council is inviting the community to help celebrate.

Local Government Week runs from Monday 31 July to Sunday 6 August and is an opportunity to move the conversation beyond roads, rates and rubbish and showcase the work councils do in their community.

Lachlan Shire Council Mayor Cr John Medcalf OAM said, “Local Government Week is a time to learn more about what the council does, the variety of projects we’re working on and how these projects keep money pumping through the local economy.”

Some of the projects include Lake Cargelligo’s Foster Street upgrade, Condobolin’s Scott Street subdivision, the new Lachlan visitor information centre and heavy vehicle parking area, upgrades to town and village sporting facilities, and flood damage works on the Shire’s road network.

Council has planned three events across the Shire where residents can enjoy a free sausage sizzle, so drop into one of the stands and hear more about local projects and the incredible employment opportunities on offer at Council.

There are currently 28 vacancies across Council’s workforce from all areas, including child care workers, plant operators, mechanics, customer service staff, administration officers, trainees, and apprentices.

“We would love to see you at one of our stands during the week,” Mayor Medcalf added. Council staff and volunteers across NSW look after more than $178 billion worth of community assets – parks, pools and playgrounds; libraries, local festivals and events, cemeteries and childcare centres, museums and art galleries.
